YOUR PERFORMANCE
You emerge from a grueling, yet invigorating, hot yoga class and make your way to the change room with sopping
wet clothing. Getting your sweat on has amazing benefits for the body and mind, but it is important to take care of
yourself before, during and after a workout.
Sweating is a natural protective response of the body. For
proper functioning, the body needs to stay within the normal
temperature range of 36.1-37.2°C. If body temperature becomes
too cold or too hot, there can be serious life threatening
implications. Sweating is a defense mechanism against
increasing body temperature. Sweat causes the body to lose
both water and certain minerals that are important for many
different functions in the body. If one is participating in an
activity where a lot of fluid will be lost, consuming water
with an electrolyte supplement can be the key to sustaining
performance as well as proper recovery.
Electrolytes are nutrients that are important for various functions
in the body from muscle contraction and relaxation to maintaining
water balance inside and outside of cells. They are also vital for
regulating heart rhythm. Electrolytes are lost whenever the body
loses fluids whether through sweat, urination, diarrhea or
vomiting. When excessive fluids are lost, it is very important
to not only replenish with water but also with electrolytes.
Without added electrolytes, the body cannot properly absorb
water into cells and dehydration can occur.
POTASSIUM
SODIUM CHLORIDE
This is an essential nutrient for heart function and muscle
relaxation. Potassium is found in high amounts inside of cells.
During muscle relaxation potassium flows out of cells. Without
adequate potassium, muscles cannot fully relax and this will
result in tension and possibly muscle spasms. The heart is
also a muscle and without adequate potassium, the heart will
not function properly. Potassium is necessary for maintaining
healthy blood pressure and heart rhythm as well. Arrhythmias
or an irregular heartbeat can sometimes be due to a deficiency
in potassium.
If you have ever had sweat dribble into your mouth while
exercising, you may have noticed that it tastes salty. This is
because sweat contains the electrolyte sodium chloride. Too
much dietary sodium is not healthy, however, sodium does
play an essential role in water balance. It helps to draw water
into and out of cells, which is necessary for hydration. Sodium is
also required for various electrical signaling processes involving
the brain and heart. Extremely low or high levels of sodium can
have serious consequences.
Below you will find a description of individual electrolytes & some of the important functions they serve in the body.
PHOSPHORUS
BEET ROOT
Approximately 80% of phosphorus in the body is found in
bone. As an electrolyte it is found as a charged particle in body
fluids. Phosphorus is a building block for ATP and DNA.
This tasty vegetable is known for increasing nitric oxide levels in
the body. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels increasing blood supply
and therefore delivery of oxygen to muscle and other organs.
MAGNESIUM
PANAX GINSENG
This is one of the most important minerals for the body. It is
involved in over 300 enzymatic processes. Like potassium,
magnesium is required for proper muscle contraction and
relaxation. It is also required for ATP metabolism, nerve
conduction, bone health and many other important functions.
AKA “the king of herbs”. In Asia this herb is said to absorb
energy from the earth and prolong life. It is used to improve
cognitive function and to help those who are under chronic
stress. It is a good addition to an electrolyte supplement, as its
energizing qualities will help sustain you through your workout.
CALCIUM
HAWTHORN
Typically when we think of calcium, we think of bone health.
Calcium also has many other functions in the body. Like
magnesium and potassium, calcium is required for proper
muscle function. Calcium binding to troponin and tropomyosin
leads to muscle contraction.
This herb is traditionally used as a heart tonic. For those who
suffer from congestive heart failure, it can help to increase
exercise tolerance. Healthy individuals can use hawthorn to
increase nitric oxide production, maintain healthy blood pressure
and heart rhythm as well as provide many other cardiovascular
benefits.
Have you ever watched a professional tennis player’s fluid
regimen between games? You will notice that most of them
have a very precise hydration protocol involving consumption
of various liquids. They are drinking electrolytes and other
nutrients to help sustain performance and maintain water balance.
Some of the other nutrients they consume are helpful for
increasing energy and stamina through what can be hours of
high intensity exercise and fluid loss.
Some additional ingredients that can help boost athletic
performance are as follows:
VITAMIN B3, B6, B12
ASCORBIC ACID
Vitamin C is one of the most important antioxidants in the body. It
is also involved in collagen production, which is required for repair
to all connective tissue (cartilage, ligaments, muscle, tendons).
Exercising does cause some oxidative stress to the body and
vitamin C is helpful for combatting this.
ZINC
B Vitamins are essential for energy metabolism in the body.
Vitamin B3 and B12 participate as cofactors in the citric acid
cycle, one of the major sources of ATP production in the body.
Vitamin B3, B6 and B12 are also involved as cofactors for
many other biological processes. Vitamin B6 has been shown
to help increase Magnesium absorption.
This is an essential mineral that is required for proper healing.
It is involved as cofactor for many biological functions. 85% of
zinc stores are found in muscle and bone.
SELENIUM
Dr. Jennifer Marion, ND
Experience all that Pro E2 has to offer
Selenium is a cofactor involved in the glutathione redox cycle in
the body. Glutathione is the body’s most important antioxidant and
Selenium is crucial to its function as an antioxidant. As previously
mentioned, exercise can cause some oxidative stress so adding
Selenium to your workout regiment can help to reduce the
oxidative burden.
COPPER
Copper is important for transport and utilization of oxygen.
It is a cofactor for various enzymatic processes and helps to
strengthen blood vessels, nerves, bones and tendons.
CHROMIUM
Chromium is involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats and
carbohydrates. It helps to increase insulin sensitivity. Studies
suggest that it may help to increase lean muscle mass and
decrease body fat.
Whether you are participating in high performance athletics, yoga,
mountain climbing or just feel like adding some energizing and
hydrating nutrients to your water, look for a supplement that contains
some or all of the ingredients above. A good electrolyte blend may just
be the edge you need over your competition.
